hp's are the best indeed.....but one can get a non-HP cartridges at a cost realatively low than hp itself!!!
also going for toner recycling or buying remanufactured toners is a better option as it is environment friendly and again u get it for 1/4 the original price

HP are the best. There are so many other brands around the world it's impossible to recommend a particular one.

I'm not familiar with this company. Reflilled cartridges can be excellent - often better than compatible cartridges - but a cartridge does have a limit on its lifespan (usually three or four refills) so it's a question of how the company checks that the cartridge has not outlived its usefulness.

first find out what kind of warranty or guarantee is offered for recycled printer cartridges, i think remanufactured ink cartridges are copyrighted so should not be replicated by another manufacturer. Companies use different quality standards in remanufacturing products.
Recycled Cartridges: cartridge has been produced reusing some parts and material from previously used products.
Refilled Cartridges: remanufacturing process by refilling it with new ink or toner but the cartridge has many components inside other than toner like magnetic roller, the photoconductor unit...many components in a cartridge do not last longer than the toner amount and not certified for twice the duty cycle, so you might experience some problems with Refilled cartridges. So re-manufactured Cartridges must be completely disassembled, components inspected and cleaned.

Thanks. Re-Feel is name of brand of third-party cartrdige. Can you throw light on it's build , quality and reviews?

the build depends from workshop to another workshop, HP thus have recycling facility so quality and warranty are ensured. The refilled cartridge must be opened and inspected so that reusable parts be cleaned and reassembled and ink filling; This is important since the cartridge must go another life cycle. Test must be done like Temperature test, pressure Test, Printing est. So you will see difference between genuine and workshop refilled cartridge, like color when printing photo, max number of pages,
